Alessandro Palazzi is the master cocktail maker, together with his small team dispense without doubt the finest Vesper Martini cocktails in London. This and Dukes Bar historical links to Ian Fleming and many other fine people including Royalty make a visit a must do. I visited this weekend (4/9/2021) with my wife and two friends Simon and Jo (that day married!) and had an wonderful memorable time. We will be returning! Perhaps don’t tell everyone?! Thank you Alessandro and team.
Signor Palazzi, volevo salutarla e ringraziarla per i bei momenti che mi ha fatto passare nel suo locale durante i miei molti anni vissuti a Londra. Sono tornato in Italia ma il Duke's bar e' sempre nel mio cuore 🙂
Elegant wristwatch for an elegant man. 👌🏻 Beautiful presentation, would love to partake. Had to search having referenced in Matt Hranek’s ‘Martini’ book.
Love the "virtual fix" - so helpful in this time of lockdowns everywhere. Even in my Vancouver we have restrictions. Fabulous Martini Alessandro!! I love No 3 Gin. Is this vermouth available to purchase?
I Made This Drink Verbatim Per. Mr. Palazzi “” YUK “” Now I Made Mine Tanqueray 3 Jiggers Martini & Rossi Dry Vermouth and Orange Bitters In a Stainless Steel Shaker with a Twist of Lemon Peel Stirred Strain and Poured into a Chrystal Martini 🍸 Glass Yummy Yum Yum Yummy 😋
Sorry, vermouth is an integral part and flavor of a martini. Swirling it in the glass and pouring it out only leaves you with straight up gin. It's not a martini.
I agree, Tom. The charm of a Martini is the interplay between the "earthy" vermouth and the "steely" gin- without enough vermouth, you miss the point of the cocktail entirely. Also, Martini's are stirred and not shaken (sorry, Mr. Fleming). The slivers of ice from shaking the cocktail, in my option, send this classic to a watery grave. Please use a good vermouth and keep it in the fridge, as it's a fortified wine.
@@josephmchugh4719 What ratio of gin to vermouth do you like and would suggest? Also, which brands? I am trying to find one I love and I have tried many combos but I think there is always room to experiment :)
Not that I want to question the man regarded as one of the greatest martini-makers in the world, but...no orange bitters? Is it still a Martini without orange bitters?
Pretty much neat gin is vile and it is not a cocktail. A cocktail is a balanced mix of drinks. Enjoy your neat gin just dint call it a Martini. Try a Reverse Martini, now THAT is delicious. James Bond doesn't exist so that extra dry martini shouldn't either.

Gorgeous beverage as always, and great to get a virtual Dukes fix during this crazy time!
Pretty close to what I do. Would love to see a comparison between Dukes Martini and Musso and Frank (out here on the left coast).
Thank you Mr Palazzi, your instructions are very greatly appreciated.

120 ml of 47% abv gin, it will be warm by the time most normal people finish the drink.
That's why they only serve two of these to ANYONE at Dukes, too many of these and it would end up like a Wetherspoons in Croydon in there!😲😲🤣🤣
@@user-hr4oy9xu2w not my point but anyways
Had a very pleasurable evening l
evening sampling your cocktails following my son receiving his gold Duke of Edinburgh award.

Chrystal Martini 🍸 Glass
Yummy Yum Yum Yummy 😋
Yeah... His recipe is a little bit shit
After 3 martinis you can speak with God. After 6 martinis you are God...
After 6 Martinis you're probably in the Magistrates Court in the morning, up on a D&D charge!
Its gin only because the vermut he traw it away it just has it aroma
Does anyone know the make/brand of the lemon peeler Alessandro is using?
This is really extra dry. I don't get it: vermouth adds so much to the cocktail! The typical 3 parts to 1 is plenty dry enough.
Missing ingredient: Water (melted ice).

Correct! Also you should not freeze a fine gin which interferes with the finely crafted botanicals ! It's NOT vodka !

You are so simple.
No, the martini recipe is. A monkey could make that.

Зачем так мучаться чтобы выпить чистого джина?

YES obviously. A dry martini, is literally vermouth/gin/lemon twist/or olive. Simple as THAT. End-of-short-story!😂
